These are all photos of the same girl.

Photo #1 - 123 pounds

Photo #2 - 132 pounds

Photo #3 - 137 pounds

There is a 14 pound difference between Photo #1 and Photo #3, yet it looks like she weighs 14 lbs LESS in the Photo #3 than in the first one. Her percentage of body fat is much higher in the first photo than in the last.

This is even more evidence that exercise has benefits that you can get in no other way.

Also, more muscle requires more energy, so you can eat more and burn calories faster.

that IS interesting... and a clear reason not to stress over the numbers on the scale - I defo do that!

Also explains why I haven't lost a pound in over a year, yet I have dropped a dress size! I would much rather look like the third pic than the first... mind, the first would be better than they way my mid section looks now...lol!

Thanks for posting...

That's kinda what I look like now. No one ever believes me that I still weigh 173. I have been busting it at the gym for 11 months now. It's so worth it!!
